Power chords, polyphonic trains, and plain old phase
David Moulton · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2006
Power chords, polyphonic trains, and plain old phase is a 36-min work of music composed directly for a six-channel array of loudspeakers (reduced to 5 channels for this performance). This piece draws on the work of minimalist sculptors such as Donald Judd and Michael Heizer, and explores the evolving nature of slowly shifting phase, reverberation, and the sonic continuum, using extremely simple sonic materials.
